Banana ice cream without the cream?

Yeah, it's possible - especially if you like bananas!

Once in a while, I like to share alternative recipes, so that you
can lose weight, feel great and indulge in great tasting food. Why? Because I'm on a mission help people (myself included) take the best possible care of themselves.

This delicious healthy banana ice cream recipe is:

Paleo friendly

Gluten-free

No sugar

No dairy

Fat free

Low glycemic index

Absolutely fat-burning

In fact, it contains only 1 ingredient: bananas - and nobody will ever know it helps you lose weight.

UN-BE-LIE-VABLE! How does it work?

You see, bananas naturally contain a lot of pectin. Pectin is the
kind of fiber that helps jams and marmalade 'set'. Because of that, when
you blend bananas, it makes an amazing texture that feels even better
than artisan-made ice creams.

Here is the trick...

Make sure your bananas are ripe and sweet. Slice them and freeze the
slices solid. Then process them in a blender or food processor. That’s
where the magic happens. The texture gets soft, smooth, and delicious.

If you don’t own an ice cream maker, all you have to do is to freeze the ice cream again until serving time. If you do own an ice cream maker, then go ahead and give it a 5-10
minute churn to further increase the beautiful texture and make this
recipe over the top.

HEALTHY BANANA ICE CREAM[No dairy, no sugar, gluten-free, paleo]

Active time: 10 minutes | Yield: About 1 quart

Ingredients:

3 large ripe bananas

Preparation:

Make sure you choose sweet and soft bananas; they work much better.

Peel the bananas and quickly slice them. Put the bananas on a sheet pan, and freeze for about 2 hours.

Blend the frozen banana slices in a food processor. Pulse a few times to it’s well blended.

Keep on blending until you get a very smooth consistency.

At this point, the bananas look blended, creamy, and have the
consistency of a soft-serve ice cream. You can enjoy it as is, or freeze
overnight for a real ice cream.

If you’re interested in an even better texture, use an ice-cream maker to achieve a real, perfect ice cream.

Transfer to an airtight container and freeze overnight.

To serve, simply take out of the freezer, and scoop in a bowl. You
can add nuts like toasted walnuts, macadamia, or almonds. You can even
add some chopped up dark chocolate pieces, as long as the chocolate
contains over 72% of cocoa.

That’s it. This is a 10-minute deal.
